SHIFTED

Music and solidarity have been walking hand in hand for quite some time. The number of events and releases devoted to bringing relief to those in need is simply countless, and more than ever now during the last crazy years we have been immersed in.

This one may draw your attention: The Berlin-based KEYI MAGAZINE put together an impressive forty-four-track (🤯) multi-genre charity compilation featuring not only acclaimed and established but also rising and aspirant artists – just to name a few: Ellen Allien, Chloe Lula, Curses, David Carretta, Que Sakamoto (SXDNS320) & NT, Neu Romancer, Franz Scala, Skelesys (SXDNS139), Melania., and Flavia Laus delivered insightful works for the beautiful initiative.

All the proceeds will be donated to two remarkable institutions: The White Helmets (https://www.whitehelmets.org/en/), who tirelessly strive to provide aid and assistance in conflict zones, and the Welthungerhilfe (https://www.welthungerhilfe.de/), dedicated to combating hunger and poverty worldwide.

There will also be a party: On June 29 KEYI MAGAZINE launches the VA at Kantine am Berghain with an event for friends and family. For the occasion: Peter Kirn, Guiddo & Piro, Skelesys, Berlin Bunny, and Dice will bring some happiness to your feet. Check the event page for further details: https://www.berghain.berlin/en/event/77306/

The track we chose to premiere was made with love by San Francisco-born Berlin-based artist Chloe Lula, who jumped into her Electro influences to bring to life this antagonistic theme: sober & frenzied, gloomy & upbeat, introspective & disturbed… “Neu Elektro” is definitely a piece that strikes the right chords when it comes to creating new and perennial dance floor memories.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://keyirecords.bandcamp.com/

PREMIERE495 // Chloe Lula - Neu Elektro

From the ashes of past sonic incarnations, Kris Baha sparks a bold new chapter with Livewire — a shape-shifting journey through tribal-psy trance, techno breaks, and dusty rave memories. Channeling the wired chaos of the late '90s with a modern pulse, the title track is a full-body trip: visceral, cinematic, and emotionally charged.

Livewire single is aut 20.05.2025 + Livewire ep is out 10.06.25 on Power Station.

From the shadowy docks of Brest, producer Noctam emerges with "Impel Down"—a tense, propulsive cut now reimagined by techno maverick Tommy Four Seven. On this remix, mechanical precision meets eerie atmospherics, forging a relentless dive into dystopian club pressure. Out June 16, 2025, via Persephonic Sirens.

Under My Feet. unveils the first glimpse into Bleeding In Colour, the forthcoming release from London-based duo Torn Relics. “Mask Of Monarchy” is a commanding introduction to the record — a potent fusion of experimental noise, industrial techno, and folklore-fuelled narrative. True to Torn Relics' distinct voice, the track explores a dystopian ritualism through a rich and confrontational sonic lens. Drawing from ancient textures and future rhythms, “Mask Of Monarchy” sets the tone for a release that promises both chaos and catharsis.

“Mask Of Monarchy” is out digitally on August 1st, 2025, with the full album Bleeding In Colour to follow on September 5th, 2025, available in both digital and cassette formats.

Berlin’s experimental labels aufnahme + wiedergabe and INVOLUCIJA·ORG reunite to unleash Infernalia, a scorching track from the upcoming album I poslije linije, linija by INVOLUCIJA and vocalist/poet Zarkoff (Sumerian Fleet). Blending razor-sharp justice with a mix of EBM, industrial techno, and futuristic math-rock, they call it Balkan Body Music — raw, defiant, and unapologetic. The album reflects on shifting ethical landscapes with biting political undertones, warning us not to turn our backs on the golden youth. Dive into the sonic battle cry and explore the abyss with Infernalia.
